Subject: Help - infinite mail loop is killing my server
From: dmacfarlane @ zip . sbi . com (David Macfarlane)

I'm running a few lists on Majordomo 1.93 on SunOS 4.1.3.
A brain-dead Microsoft mail server is killing my server by
returning a piece of mail to majordomo which majordomo can't
understand, so it sends out a help file, which causes
Microsoft mailserver to bounce back to majordomo, etc., etc.

I looked at the code, and there's a line with "--" on it that
is supposed to stop this from happening (according to the
comment) but I can't find the code that actually traps that.
Since the outgoing mail has the same from and Reply-To fields,
I can't even get the reply-to to be majordomo-owner.

So, what's a guy to do?  (If you want me to provide more
details, please ask.)  Thanks for any and all assistance.

	David.
